Unable to connect via PHP

[ShamaJamms]

HTTP, PHP, and MySQL servers are all running localhost on my machine, and configured/setup. I am able to login and edit MySQL via Windows command prompt. But when I issue a PHP connect command and run the PHP page on my browser, I'm unable to connect.
Here is my code:


<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "test") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to MySQL";
?>

and the mysql error you get is what exactly?

I don't get an error. I get a blank page.

I don't think thats a connection issue with mysql, but rather a PHP configuration issue and as such is better suited for the PHP forum here. forum434

However in anticipation of the guys over their, I'll ask you to do the following and post the results in a thread in the PHP forum.

In a blank file add the following code:

<?PHP
phpinfo();
?>

Save it, and open it in your browser and post the results.
